Beginning June 15, 2010, we will begin the process of opening the Premium Group forums to the public. No fee will be required to access material that, previously, only paying customers could view and respond to. A free-will donation to support our ministry is always appreciated, however.

Hi Phil:

I really value the help I've gotten here, and I was glad to find I could sign up for the premium groups while still remaining anonymous for professional reasons. I thought maybe others might want to know, too, so I'm asking this publically: can people make a donation with complete anonymity through that button?

Hi Ariel. Yes, donations are confidential and won't be registered anywhere on any forum.

Phil,

Thanks. In retrospect, I hope my question didn't sound like I don't trust anyone. I just like being able to sometimes say things here that I would otherwise only talk about with someone I've known in person for quite awhile. I have a very congenial, but very loose-lipped friend, who I now only discuss the weather and horses with, and I guess I've gotten maybe too cautious in general through getting burned from confiding in her.

Feel free to delete these posts if you wish, or leave them up in case there are other squirrels out there wondering about confidentiality.
